Apatosaurus, formerly known as Brontosaurus, is a well-known genus of sauropod dinosaur that lived during the Late Jurassic period, approximately 154 to 153 million years ago. Apatosaurus was one of the largest dinosaurs that ever existed, reaching lengths of up to 75 to 90 feet. They had a long neck and tail, a small head with nostrils on the top of the skull, and a massive, barrel-shaped body.
Despite their enormous size, Apatosaurus, like other sauropods, had relatively small brains. Apatosaurus were herbivores, primarily feeding on plants such as ferns, cycads, and conifers. Their long necks and tails were adaptations for reaching and stripping vegetation from trees and other tall plants. Fossils of Apatosaurus have been found in what is now North America,
Apatosaurus was initially discovered and named by Othniel Charles Marsh in 1877. Later, it was briefly classified as "Brontosaurus" when another specimen was discovered with slight differences. However, subsequent research revealed that Apatosaurus and Brontosaurus were essentially the same genus, with Apatosaurus being the older name. Therefore, "Brontosaurus" is no longer considered a valid genus.
Apatosaurus was a quadrupedal dinosaur, meaning it walked on all four legs. Its massive size and long neck would have made it an efficient grazer in its ecosystem.
